Hi there, this is a great question! Pointing out the change on your resume is a good start, it will show that you have changed and updated your education. As for mentioning it on a phone interview, I think that would also be fine! If you can make that challenge relevant to how it has helped you change and grow and makes you a great candidate, then you should by all means use that experience. Best of luck in interviewing!

Hi there, this is a great question! It can be intimidating at first when searching for a job and I completely understand not being sure where to get started. I would recommend first understanding what kind of industries you are interested in and what types of jobs people with your major do to get an idea about what you can do with that major. Then, I would suggest researching those companies in those industries that you are interested in and seeing if they have any openings by going to their careers page. You can also use sites like LinkedIn, Indeed, and WayUp to source for positions and talk to experts. Good luck in your job search!

Hi there, this is a great question! There are lots of ways to get involved with networking while still in school. Firstly, if you are in any clubs, look at their alumni list and try to connect with some of them via LinkedIn. Additionally, by reaching out to your career services, you can find companies that are looking to engage with students and make connections that way. Finally, do not be afraid to reach out to your fellow students! They will have their own connections that you can meet that way.

Hi there. I think it depends on the severity of the situation. If the issue is something that you believe you can work out with your coworker by telling them the issue and how you would like to resolve it, then it might just be best to discuss it with them and move on from the issue. If the issue is something you feel uncomfortable discussing with them or you do not feel like the situation could be resolved by just talking to them, you might want to bring your manager or HR into the situation just to make sure that everyone can be heard equally.

Hi there, this is a very good question. It depends on your relationship with your current employer. If you feel comfortable, talk about it with your manager/direct supervisor, just to let them know if they are contacted by a prospective employer and to let them know that you are looking for other opportunities. However, if you do not feel comfortable with talking to your manager/direct supervisor, then it might not be in your best interest to do so.

If your summer internship program is postponed, altered, or canceled -- you’re not alone.

If you’re unable to participate in an internship this summer, you may be feeling worried about your career path. Let’s hear from our hiring experts about future internships and moving forward.

In the current hiring climate, first impressions with potential employers are often happening remotely. How can you set yourself up for success? By creating a strong resume that highlights your skills, accomplishments, and sets you apart. Let’s hear from our hiring experts on what they’re looking for from each section of your resume.

You’ve been working hard to keep your grades up and move closer to completing your degree. As the semester draws to a close and grades are being posted, it begs the question: Do these numbers that define so much of your college experience matter in the real world? Let’s let our hiring experts weigh in on how your GPA matters in the job market!

In light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, summer internships are going to look different this year. Read on to hear from our experts about how to handle searching for an internship in this unique season.

I would focus on the company's core values, mission statement, leadership team and products. Company culture is key to placing yourself in a positive, successful environment. Each of these categories contribute to a company's overall culture and value proposition for you personally.

Search the company's web site, GlassDoor.com, and any other sites where there may be information about the company. Take note of the real world things that are happening at the company and ask questions about them. For example, you may find that a company recently rolled out a new product and you can ask something like 'I see that you recently launched XYZ product. Are there any other markets that ABC company is trying to break into'.

Interviews of any type can be nerve-wracking. The key to sounding confident is knowing what you are talking about...you. The interview is about you, what your story is and what you want out of a career. There is nothing that they are going to ask you in a professional interview with a reputable company that should be a shock to you. Review your resume, make sure to note for each position a key deliverable/accomplishment that you have achieved, list out what you feel your strengths are and what opportunities for development you have and your plan to address those opportunities. Ensure that you have something to drink and are dressed comfortably and in a place where you can hear and not be distracted. Good luck!

When it comes to social media, assume the interviewer is looking at your profile
